Wolverhampton Wanderers host Sunderland at Molineux Stadium in a Premier League fixture that carries very different weight for each side. Wolves are already relegated, while Sunderland arrive with European ambitions still alive.

Wolves' season ended in confirmation of the drop, and their final home games are little more than a farewell lap for a squad that could not arrest a damaging run of results. Their most recent outing brought a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, a fifth loss from their last five matches.

Sunderland's return to the top flight has been one of the stories of the season. The Black Cats pushed hard for a top-six finish and, despite a wobble in form that saw them lose 5-0 at Nottingham Forest last time out, they remain in contention for a place in European competition.

Regis Le Bris's side have shown the quality to beat the best on their day, with wins at Tottenham and Newcastle United among their Premier League scalps this term. A 4-3 defeat at Aston Villa last week showed their attacking intent, even if the defensive numbers have been inconsistent.

For Wolves, this is a chance to finish the campaign with some pride at Molineux, a ground they have called home since 1889. Their supporters deserve a performance, even if the table tells the full story of a difficult year.

Sunderland will want to bounce back quickly after the Forest result and keep pressure on the sides above them. Three points on the road would go a long way toward securing their top-half ambitions.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
